Over the past century, U.S. stocks have experienced a bear market roughly once every 3. 5 years, with an average length of just over nine months. Since 1945, however, that frequency has dropped to once every five years. Even with recent bear markets in 2022 and 2020, it's not safe to assume we're in the clear for a while. High interest rates, high inflation, and a war in Iran all pose threats to the current bull market that could trigger a reversal at almost any time.
